Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines the past participle of 'earn' (derived from Proto-Germanic *arnōn, meaning to labor or harvest) with 'income' (from Middle English income, meaning that which comes in). It emerged as a formal economic and tax designation in the 20th century to distinguish wages derived from active labor from passive investment returns.
